• 2:14Jake Brennan?

  Hey Discos. Need a little more DisgraceLand in your life? Just a touch to get you through? Yeah, me too. This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome to DisgraceLand, the after-party.

• 2:40Jake Brennan?

  Welcome to the DisgraceLand bonus episode, a little thing we like to call the after-party. This is the show after the show, the party after the party, the bridge to get you from one full episode of DisgraceLand to the other, the backyard to dig into the dirt. On this bonus episode, we are talking about this week's full-episode subject on Frank Sinatra, a part-two episode on Frank Sinatra, actually. We're rewinding back to Studio 54, previewing our upcoming episode on the Replacements. Get into your voicemails, texts, DMs, thoughts on the books we're reading, the music we're listening to, the film and television we're watching, and, and, and we dig into the Diddy verdict fallout. And as always, a whole lot of Rosie. All right, Discos, let's get into it.

• 3:28Jake Brennan?

  It's not often that a jury in a federal trial for racketeering answers our DisgraceLand question of the week for us. But guys, that's what happened. By now, you know that Sean "Diddy" Combs was deemed not guilty of racketeering, conspiracy, and not guilty of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. He was found guilty of two lesser counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. So, in light of our recent part-two episode on Frank Sinatra, we asked, was Frank Sinatra the most gangster musician of all time? And according to the jury in the Sean Combs trial, Sean Combs, at least, is not the most gangster musician of all time, at least if we're going by the book.

• 4:11Jake Brennan?

  Now, I don't know, just because he got off on the more serious charges, I cannot unsee Sean "Diddy" Combs viciously beating on Cassie Ventura.

• 4:23Jake Brennan?

  And yeah, impossible to accept. But does that make him guilty of racketeering? No, it does not. And as our recent Sinatra episode points out, Frank got violent with the opposite sex too. At least if we're to believe Peter Lawford's story about Frank putting that woman through the plate glass window. Now, like most of you guys, I read a ton of books. I read more than I spend, I spend more time reading, I should say, more than I spend my time on TikTok. And I gotta say, I'm pretty annoyed by the Sean Diddy Combs corner of TikTok, the Jaguar rights, the wild claims about A-list celebrities involved in Diddy's worst crimes. Now, of course, none of that came out in trial.

• 5:07Jake Brennan?

  And I'll admit, there was a moment there where I thought it might, but I was never convinced, which is why in the recent Diddy episode that we released, I based it entirely on the indictments and the publicly available legal documents at the time. And most everything in that episode, that came out in the trial, as I expected it would. Everything in our Disgrace and Part Two Sean Combs episode, most of that was touched upon in the recent Sean Combs trial. And of course, the trial gave us more details, stuff that I didn't have, stuff that none of us had beforehand. But the trial did not give us anything that the TikTok gossip merchants were peddling like gospel. Okay? The new Sinatra episode, it's based on real information, information that I found in

• 5:52Jake Brennan?

  a recent book called Frank Sinatra and the Mafia Murders. It was released just two years ago and is based on sourcing from recently released Los Angeles police intelligence files and a whole cachet of new FBI documents that the authors got their hands on. Now, none of it was taken from X wise guys with YouTube channels or TikTok accounts. And as you've likely heard by now, Sinatra's involvement with the mafia is pretty damn disgraceful and more gangster than what Sean Combs was officially found guilty of, at least as far as the official record is concerned. Now, speaking of records, switching gears here a little bit, Nirvana's Unplugged, it's getting its 30th anniversary remaster and re-release.

• 6:36Jake Brennan?

  And that reminded me that I bought this album on vinyl when it came out. I still have it. And I still listen to it and I kinda wanna get this remaster and A B the quality to see if there's actually any difference between the original that I have and the new remaster. How's your record collection doing? Okay, let me know. Let me know if you got anything you're excited about recently. I'm super excited on the reading front. I talked about this, I believe in the all access portion of last week's after party episode, but I'm super excited about the Chris Whitaker book that I'm reading called We Begin at the End. It reads, you know, I've got Nebraska from Bruce Springsteen on my mind. It's been

• 7:18Jake Brennan?

  a theme the last couple of weeks here, but it reads like Nebraska sounds. The book is sparse. It's poetic. It's thrilling. It's filled with characters that are barely hanging on to a world that's trying to shake, shake them loose. And Chris Whitaker has a new book out right now that a ton of people are freaking out over. It's number three on the New York Times bestseller list at the moment, I believe. I haven't read that yet, but I'm psyched too. That one's called All the Colors of the Dark. You're probably gonna hear about that, but when you do know that the book, his first book called We Begin at the End is tremendous. This guy's a serious, serious author and I can't wait to read all his stuff, but especially this new one, All the Colors of the Dark. Also just finished reading Brian

• 7:59Jake Brennan?

  Wilson's autobiography called I Am Brian Wilson and I'm here to say that I am Jake Brennan and this book broke my heart. I'm having a hard time writing this Brian Wilson episode this week. It's hard to find something original to say about a guy who so much has already been said about, but I think I found a unique way into Brian's incredible story. And I'll have this episode ready for you guys shortly. I can't wait to bring it to you. But before that, coming up next in your feed, we've got our rewind into our Studio 54 episode. Of course, lots of sex, lots of drugs, dead dude trapped in the walls, federal agents crashing the whole party. It's a whole thing, man. That's coming up

• 8:42Jake Brennan?

  next in your feed, right after the bonus episode. Then after that, next Tuesday, we're bringing you our episode on the Replacements, a punk rock, rock and roll cautionary tale of self destruction, if there ever was one. Okay. When you're listening to this Replacements episode, guys, I want you to be thinking about which band or artist never made it big, but should have. Not that the Replacements weren't big. They're, they're legends in their own right, but. You gotta, you gotta understand, people who were around then, expected the Replacements to be Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, okay? To be the 1980s version of the Rolling Stones, okay? That didn't happen.

• 9:26Jake Brennan?

  They weren't as big as most believe they should have been. And we all know bands like this. We all have even friends who were in bands who, who were great bands, great musicians, that never got the do that they deserve. So, let me know, are the Replacements the best example of that? Or are there other bands, perhaps, other artists that we should know about? That you might want to turn on, other DisgraceLand listeners, the other discos, onto these artists, onto these bands that are, that are more unknown, that never really broke through, that should have, okay? Call us, 617-906-6638. DM us at @disgracelandpod, and your answers might land in next week's after-party. That's it from my world this week, okay? I could have spent, of course, an hour, at least, talking about Sean Combs.

• 10:08Jake Brennan?

  I've been on, I've been doing radio interviews all day, across the country. Maybe you're driving around Wichita, Kansas, Chicago, Detroit, those are the ones I've done so far today. And you might hear me, I don't know, we'll see. Got more lined up for tomorrow, but right now, I got your voicemails, your texts, and your DMs lined up, right on the other side of this break.

This week's question of the week in relation to Frank Sinatra, who's the most gangster musician of all time? Karen Reed. Karen Reed writes in, "Hey Jake, Karen Reed from the 281 Sugarland, Texas. Not a Karen, and not that Karen Reed. I'm responding to your question of the week. Frank Sinatra is definitely the most gangster actor, celebrity musician. I'm re-listening to the Frank Sinatra

• 12:36Jake Brennan?

  episodes right now. When you listen, I mean really listen, you need a string board to connect all the characters, historical places, events, times, and romantic liaisons. You got me started down so many rabbit holes with the new episode too. Judas Campbell, Exner, Alora Gooding, AKA Dorothy Lima, the Cal-Neva Casino, CIA conspiracies, and I need to know more," she goes on to say. "Not having your podcast on my commute or anytime would be a disgrace. P.S. Diddy is gangster, less class, unfortunately charismatic for those he befriended and brought into his web of perversion, ruthless, and sexual depravity. I hope he gets what's coming. If he doesn't, that's a disgrace. Happy 4th to you and the team at Double Lovers. Happy,

• 13:19Jake Brennan?

  happy 4th of July to you as well, Karen Reed. Happy to hear you." You beat the rap. I'm just kidding. I know nothing about the Karen Reed case and I know you're not the real Karen Reed. We had a pretty extensive conversation last week about great singer songwriters, greatest singer songwriters of all time. If you remember, we went through that list and I heard from a lot of you and there were some, there were some serious singer songwriters who were left off of that list. You guys have reminded me of a ton. 727 writes in, "Hey Jake, two singer songwriter albums that would definitely be on my list are Graham Parsons' Grievous Angel and Tom Waits' Frank's Wild Years. Love the show, so keep doing what you do." Erica, it's interesting to hear you put Grievous Angel ahead of GP. They're both fantastic.

• 14:02Jake Brennan?

  I think GP is a smidge better and really hard for me to pick a favorite Tom Waits album. I don't know if I did though. I don't know that I love Frank's Wild Years. I don't know if that would be it. Maybe Swordfish Trombone. I love Bone Machine too, even though it's later. Kind of messed up that both those artists weren't on the list. Leonard Cohen was also left off the list. Someone else pointed out Billy Joel, Elton John. 302 writes in, "Warren Zevon and John Prine are for sure among the best singer songwriters of all time, but The Wind is a far better album than Zevon's self-titled second album. He does a haunting cover of Knockin' on Heaven's Door as he is in fact dying."

• 14:47Jake Brennan?

  Oh, I need to hear that. That's gonna make me sad though. 415 writes in, "Hey Joni Mitchell, how could she be left off the list?" That's a really good, really good point. That's Glenn in the 415. 617 writes in, "Favorite singer songwriter album is Living with Ghost by Patti Griffin." That's a bold statement, 617. I would expect nothing less from somebody back in my hometown. 724, "Hey Jake, just listened to your after-party episode and you asked about great singer songwriters. I gotta say, my favorites that you didn't mention were Gordon Lightfoot and Marty Robbins, and both can be seen as some of the most successful, especially for the genre." Marty Robbins, I get. Oh devil woman. Gordon Lightfoot, on the other hand, I mean, I get it. I get the love for Gordon Lightfoot, not one of my faves. Maybe it should be. I love

• 15:32Jake Brennan?

  Beck's Sea Change and people often say that Sea Change by Beck is a Gordon Lightfoot ripoff. I think it's more of a Serge Gainsborough ripoff, but I don't know. Get back at me 724. Let me know where to start with Gordon Lightfoot. God, these, these messages on the singer songwriter stuff are quite, they're pretty endless here. 540 writes in, brings up Steve Earle 540, Steven in the 540. Steve Earle, one of the all time greats. I have a couple of funny stories about Steve Earle. I've probably shared them with you guys before. I won't, I won't belabor it. All right, let's check out this voicemail here again on the same subject. Here's the 414.

• 16:08Speaker 05

  Hey Jake, this is Rain. I am calling to respond to your after show the other night, actually last night. And you were talking about singer songwriters. And I do not understand why no one mentions Tom Waits as an incredible singer songwriter. He is beyond amazing. And also Nick Cave. I know that he sometimes writes with his band, but I believe that he writes a lot of stuff himself. So I was hoping that maybe you guys could think about doing episodes on them. That would be amazing. Yeah. And oh, oh damn, there was another thing I thought of, but I'm going to have to call you back. All right, you take care.

• 16:53Jake Brennan?

  All right, Rain, call us back when you remember what you wanted to say. I just talked about Tom Waits and you know, I can add a little bit here. When I was just starting out as an adult and making music, if you, if you asked me which artist's career, what I want to replicate, what would the answer would have been Tom Waits for sure. Of course, I wasn't doing anything even close to approaching the greatness that Tom Waits was doing, nor was I really trying that hard. Nick Cave, tremendous as well. This is really hard. There's no way you can come up with 10, a list of 10 of the greatest singer songwriters. There's just, there's too many you have to leave off. You're going to leave Nick Cave off that list? PJ Harvey? PJ Harvey? Leonard Cohen? No, you can't.

• 17:39Speaker 06

  Hey Jake, this is Clint from the 724 Triad, Jim Carroll Catholic Boy for Singer Songwriter album. I think he wrote most of the songs on that album and the production and everything on it is killer. It's just a good one from like the late 70s, bro. Keep it up. You do a good job. Thanks, man. Bye.

• 17:59Jake Brennan?

  Clint and the 724, I actually don't know that record that well. I mean, I've heard, I think that's the one that has people who died and whatever the other song, single was that got some traction. I know those tunes, of course, even though I can't think of the other one's name right now, but I don't know that as an album. So great recommendation. And I'm pumped to be reminded to check out Jim Carroll. Jim Carroll should be an episode of Disgrace Land. I've never seen The Basketball Diaries, by the way. Have you guys? I have not. 617-906-6638. You want to hit me up, leave a voicemail or a text, at Disgrace Land Pod on Instagram, TikTok, X, and Facebook, if you want to get in touch with me over

• 18:39Jake Brennan?

  there. Kelly Van Violet Sibiling, I believe I'm pronouncing that correctly, but I'm probably not, writes in, "Hey, I just happened to listen to the podcast, your podcast for the Beach Boys in the last two days on Disgrace Land. I finished it up this morning on my way to work and I can tell you what the Beach Boys meant to me growing up. As somebody whose mother grew up in the 60s, somebody who was heavily influenced on this music, I am deeply saddened to hear the news about Brian Wilson. Thank you for sharing your stuff." You know, I gotta say here, Kelly and everybody else, when the news about Brian Wilson's death hit, you know, it didn't really affect me one way or another. Old rock stars die all the time. Oftentimes, rock stars die and you can immediately feel the hole. And

• 19:24Jake Brennan?

  we felt that. I felt that with other people. I didn't feel it myself. But now that I've been in this research and writing for the last week and a half on Brian Wilson, I do feel a tremendous amount of sadness. This guy, and I knew all this before, but when you get into his head, especially in the autobiography, he was not only a genius, not only a hugely important cultural figure in our culture, he was also a man who was largely a child. And I don't mean that in a negative way. I mean that in kind of the best way. And his mental illness certainly had something to do with that. He was taken advantage of. He, oh God, it's, it's-

• 20:06Jake Brennan?

  It's really rough because there's so much innocence in his songs, innocence and beauty. And I've listened to that sort of 90s, late or early 90s, I believe, I think it's 1991, the Love and Mercy track, that album, but that, the song Love and Mercy, I should say, I don't think that's any of the album, but the song Love and Mercy, it's just been on repeat the last few days and it's, it's wrecked me. It's so simple. It's so beautiful. It's such a fantastic representation, I think, of who Brian Wilson was as a person, as a character. And I'm a bit wrecked by it. And I'm looking forward for all of you, you especially Kelly, hearing this Brian Wilson episode. So thanks for

• 20:48Jake Brennan?

  writing. You guys want to hit me up at disgracelandpod on the socials? Go for it. Wicked Wanda writes in in relation to Sean Diddy Combs, he is guilty like OJ. Wicked Wanda and everybody else, I feel your pain. You know, I just circling back to the Diddy thing here. I have this one thought and I've been talking about this all day. We can't unsee what Sean Combs did to Cassie Ventura, but he wasn't on trial for that. And I do think he's guilty of things if they weren't proven. Two things can be true at once. I can't exactly say what those things are. I don't know. I don't think really anyone truly knows who's on the outside like we are. But I think it's also possible that the government overreached

• 21:33Jake Brennan?

  here and that's why we ended up where we ended up. Shocking. I don't think the guy's gonna do any time. I mean, he'll do sometime, but not real time. So yeah, your OJ comp, it might be entirely accurate. Wicked Wanda, thanks for checking in. All right, let's switch gears here. Let's get into our little sports section of the show. This is a 60 second sports rant in under 30 seconds or whatever we're calling this segment for the discos who are also sports geeks like me. All right, Matt, give me the buzzer. Give me the little buzzer beater thingy. All right, listen, sports world, kind of dead right now. Okay. Not a lot going on. I don't care about tennis or the WNBA beating the piss out of Katelyn Clark. What the hell is that all about, by the way? I

• 22:16Jake Brennan?

  did, like I said, not a lot going on. So I did, I did a quick Google. Of the five greatest sports movies of all time and Vulture gave me the following. Number five, Foxcatcher. Never seen it. Number four, Bull Durham. Great. Might be too high on this list. Number three, Rocky. Wrong answer. This should be number two. Two, they have here in Vulture on the list. Number two, Raging Bull. That's also the wrong answer. That should be number three. Number one, Hoop Dreams. Great, great, great movie, but wrong. The correct answer is to the question of what is the greatest sports movie of all time? Well, that is of course Slapshot from 1977 featuring Paul Newman, the Hanson Brothers, and Eddie Shore's old time hockey. Tell me I'm wrong. 617-906-6638. I'll be back in a flash.

• 23:07Jake Brennan?

  I like a story with a twist as much as anyone, but some of the best traditions don't have one. They just started and kept going. That's something that's great about Chateau St. Michelle. They've been leading Washington wine since 1967 with wines that are balanced, expressive, and easy to enjoy. Choosing the right bottle shouldn't feel complicated.

  All right, guys. Welcome back to the show. We are back, back, back, back. This week, the Hollywood Land Minute is brought to you by Roman Polanski, sort of. That doesn't really make sense, but you know what I'm talking about. The Hollywood Land episode that we're featuring this week is on Roman Polanski, okay? From Chinatown to exile, Oscar acclaim to extradition battles and all kinds of other disgraceful things that I'm not going to get into here. You need to subscribe to Hollywood Land to hear this episode, okay?

Give him a little bit of the Rap Party.

• 24:59Speaker 06

  Jake, what's going on, brother? It's Tony from the 206. Just listened to the Roman Polanski episode and I thought about the question you asked about, are you able to, you know, separate the artist from their art, the creator from their art? And honestly, it's more easier for me to do in movies than it is, say, music, for example. Like, I know a lot of people that will still watch a John Wayne film and can totally separate that from who John Wayne was the person, you know, Google the 1971 Playboy article versus music. Like, for me, I can't listen to any of R. Kelly's music anymore because a lot of his music is him telling on himself. You know, and I guess with Roman Polanski, it's kind

• 25:43Speaker 06

  of like, was some of his work telling on himself in a way? I don't know. But that's just my take on it, man. Much love to you. Much love from the 206. Hope you're having a good summer. Stay hydrated, brother.

• 25:55Jake Brennan?

  Tony in the 206, great to hear from you. Great way to frame this question when you're comparing the transgressions of film directors and musicians. I think maybe, well, put the telling on yourself aside, piece aside for a second, but the- I don't know, is music just more personal? Is that what it is, Zeph? Is that what makes it harder? I think it could be. I think there's a big part of what the music that you listen to being such a part of your identity in a way that the movies that you watch aren't part of your identity. I don't have a fast, clear answer for why that is the case, but music has always been such a part of who you are. Yeah, certainly for me, but, but movies too, to some degree. I don't know.

• 26:40Jake Brennan?

  I mean, Woody Allen is certainly in, in Manhattan telling on himself to use, to use Tony's phrase.

• 26:51Jake Brennan?

  But I can, I still love that movie. And I guess, I don't know. I don't, I don't know if it's different between musicians and directors for me. All right, guys, that's Hollywood Land.

  Just go to disgracelandpod.com/membership. And when you're there, it's basically going to tell you what I'm going to tell you right now. Five bucks a month, you're going to get ad free listening. You're going to get an extra portion of this bonus episode where I talk to you and you alone. Well, you and you alone in the sort of universal members sense. And you're also going to get one additional full episode per month, just for five bucks. I say just for five bucks, like five bucks doesn't mean anything. It does. I get it. It's hard to buy anything with five bucks these days because shit is expensive. Okay. But I like to think what we're providing for five bucks is worth it.

Redefine your rituals with Chateau St. Michelle.
